SAN FRANCISCO--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Today, Ubisoft announced that For Honor, a new action IP bringing
together a trio of factions and their deadly warriors onto one
battlefield, is now available worldwide for Xbox One, PlayStation®4
entertainment system and Windows PC. For Honor is rated M for Mature and
is available for a suggested retail price of $59.99.

Developed by Ubisoft Montreal in collaboration with other Ubisoft
studios*, For Honor offers an engaging campaign and thrilling
multiplayer modes. Players embody warriors of the three Great Factions –
the bold Knights, the brutal Vikings and the deadly Samurai – fighting
to the death on intense and believable melee battlefields. The Art of
Battle, the game’s innovative combat system that puts players in total
control of their warriors, allows them to utilize the unique skills and
combat style of each Hero to vanquish all enemies who stand in their way.

The launch of For Honor follows two highly successful beta periods that
accumulated more than 6 million unique players and more than 2 billion
minutes were played across current-gen consoles and PC. These were also
the largest PC beta phases in Ubisoft’s history with 1.8M participants.
Players participating in both the Open and Closed Beta experienced
Faction War, the persistent cross-platform meta-game. The Knights
Faction reigned victorious by the end of the Open Beta giving all
players who pledged to the Knights the Emblems of Power with golden
frames that can be used for customization. These in-game rewards, as
well as additional beta rewards for all factions, will be available in
the full game at launch.

For Honor’s meta-game, Faction War, the persistent cross-platform
conflict between the Knights, Vikings and Samurai, will continue to
drive player engagement post-launch. Players begin by pledging their
sword to the faction of their choice. Every multiplayer battle in For
Honor impacts the world as players earn War Assets based on their
personal performance in matches. These War Assets can be deployed and
spent helping players conquer and defend territories. Every match makes
a difference, as all players contribute to the glory of their faction
during each 10-week competitive multiplayer season. Once the season
ends, all For Honor players will receive in-game rewards based on the
rank of their faction. At the end of each season the Faction War resets
and resumes after an off-season period.

Additional content including new Heroes, maps, modes and gear will also
be released across three seasons following launch. Season Pass holders
will receive an early access to some elements of this post-launch
content.
